Food Drive

MAPP is sponsoring a food drive to help students on campus. We hope you’ll join us.

Beginning now, through December 15^th, we will be collecting non-perishable food items to help our students.

Food insecurity is an increasing issue among students, both graduate and undergraduate, on our campus. According to the campus pantry website, approximately 20 percent of UMD students lack reliable access to sufficient quantities of affordable, nutritious food.

Please join us to help our students. Donations may be brought to the front desk in the Main Office, Room 1200. We will also have a collection box available on Tuesday, December 12^th during the morning Festivities and Celebration of Graduates.

Here’s a list to get you started.
